How to Attract More Money Coming Your Way with These Proven Tips

I’ve always been fascinated by how certain shifts—whether in life, mindset, or even history—can completely redirect the flow of opportunity. It reminds me of the world of Dustborn, that alternate reality where Jackie Kennedy’s assassination reshaped America into something darker, almost without anyone realizing it until it was too late. The frog never felt the water boil. And honestly, that’s exactly how many of us handle our finances—we don’t notice the slow erosion of our money mindset until we’re stuck. But what if we could reverse that? What if, instead of a slow burn toward lack, we could create momentum toward abundance? Over the years, I’ve tested dozens of approaches, and I’ve found that attracting money isn’t about luck. It’s about building systems and shifting perspectives in ways that feel almost effortless once they’re in motion.

Let’s start with clarity. I can’t stress this enough: you need to know exactly what you’re aiming for. Vague goals like “I want more money” don’t work. Your brain doesn’t latch onto fog. In my own journey, I began by defining what “more money” actually meant—whether it was an extra $1,000 a month, a 20% raise, or hitting six figures in freelance income. One study I came across a while back suggested that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them. Now, I’m not sure how they measured that exactly, but in my experience, the number feels about right. Writing shifts something. It moves ideas from the abstract into the tangible, much like how Dustborn’s fictional history feels eerily plausible once you see it laid out. You start to notice patterns, opportunities, and openings you’d otherwise miss.

Another game-changer for me was adopting what I call a “value-first” mindset. I used to chase money directly—sending out cold pitches, undercharging for my services, saying yes to every client. It was exhausting and, frankly, not very profitable. Then I flipped the script. I asked myself, “How can I provide so much value that money naturally follows?” That single question transformed my business. I started offering free resources, over-delivering on projects, and focusing on building trust. Within six months, my income increased by nearly 35%. It wasn’t magic—it was intentional action. Think about it: when you become someone others can rely on, money finds its way to you. It’s like that moment in Dustborn where the resistance could’ve formed earlier if people had recognized the slow creep of control. In finances, the “resistance” is your own hesitation. Break it before it solidifies.

Environment matters more than we admit. I read once that the average person’s net worth is within 10-15% of their five closest contacts. Whether that’s scientifically accurate or not, I’ve found it to be true in spirit. If you’re surrounded by people who complain about bills, avoid investing, or see money as evil, it’s going to rub off. I made a conscious effort to connect with people who were doing better than me financially—not to leech off their success, but to learn. I joined two mastermind groups, attended industry conferences even when it felt expensive, and slowly reshaped my circle. It felt awkward at first, but within a year, my opportunities had doubled. Your network really is your net worth. It’s like that national police force in Dustborn—subtle influences reshape your reality, for better or worse. Choose the influences that pull you up, not drag you down.

Finally, let’s talk about action. Knowledge is useless without movement. I meet so many people who’ve read every finance book out there but still hesitate to invest $100. Perfectionism is a dream killer. Start small. Open that high-yield savings account. Negotiate one bill. Invest in a low-cost index fund. I started with just $50 a month into an ETF, and now it’s one of my most reliable wealth-builders. It’s not about getting it perfect—it’s about building momentum. Money, much like attention, flows toward energy and motion. If you stay passive, you’ll end up like the citizens in Dustborn—watching things unfold without realizing you could’ve changed them. Don’t let your financial story be a slow burn in the wrong direction. Take the reins. Shape your narrative. You’d be surprised how quickly the currents can shift when you do.
